Over The Creek was chopped by totesport into 16-1 for the Coral Welsh National after a bloodless victory at Hereford.

David Pipe’s 11-8 favourite, who finished second to Moulin Riche at the 2005 Cheltenham Festival, returned to the form his connections knew he was capable of after two previous forays over fences cut little ice.
